Re: "This amendment was attached for the next several years. Then congress decided to stop forbidding mmj in DC. That decision was by vote of congress."

When did THAT happen?

(Or did it not happen by affirmatively passing any legislation... but, perhaps, by *failing* to pass something? If it was just a rider they stuck onto the annual D.C. appropriations bill, did they simply fail to do so this time? Causing this effect by NOT doing something??????????)

Re: "Questions: is this binding on the DEA?"

The DEA does not generally concern itself (from the point-of-view of policing) with LOCAL law enforcement matters. Their purview is supposed to be national, interstate and international.

Re: "I believe that the DEA has sent out warning letters to officials in DC already, as they get ready to open their dispensaries."

But they ALWAYS do that.

The first rule of any bureaucracy is to PROTECT and EXPAND (if possible) the powers (and the jobs) of the bureaucracy....
